Class Note 1969

In February we all received a most informative letter from our representative to the Alumni Council Paul Tuhus. He described the recent meeting and much of the workings of the council as it deals with College issues. For those who missed it, please check the class website and follow the links to view all the information Paul provided.


A note from Greg Lau tells us he has reconsidered retirement and will continue to work with General Motors although he will spend less time commuting.


Rick Saunders reports he is still practicing pediatric ophthalmology at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. In his off hours he regularly participates in competitive sailing, mostly on a J-24, and sings in a community chorus. In recent years he has accompanied his wife, Anne, on trips throughout Italy as she was doing research for a book on World War II sites. The book, A Travel Guide to World War II Sites in Italy: Museums, Monuments and Cemeteries, was published last April.


We regrettably must inform you we learned of the loss of another classmate. Kari Prager passed away unexpectedly in his sleep last November 14 following a respiratory illness. Kari’s obituary can be read on the class website.


We mentioned in the previous edition a conference call held with the class officers and various class committee members. We are moving forward with this plan, and our second call was held in March. If you are interested in participating in these discussions please contact me or any of the class officers. Meanwhile we will keep you up to date with regular postings to the website.


Again, information from classmates is lacking and both Allen and I would appreciate contact from you.
